Book Crossing

[cutienikki]

Okay so i was at school, and i was sitting in the lobby area, and i saw this book and it was in a ziplock bag, and it had a note to it. And apparently someone left it there and its like a book traveling thingy....

has anyone else ever come across this before?

the note:

ive seen that before... they have some advertisments for it posted up around here... basically you register the book and then donate it and shit and you can track exactly who's read it after you as it travels around... kind of a cool idea i guess...

New .com, old idea.

The Underground Library has been going on, for years.

People just leave books behind at points or modes of travel.

Generally, they write on the inside sleeve their name and where they left it behind for the next person to pick up and read while they journey.

There was another website (lost the addy) where you could log on and track books' progress.

Regardless, it's a great practice, leaving good books for others' enjoyment!

i bet it's a cult.

i'll keep all my books in messy stacks in my room.

Yeah, some of my friends do it over here.

I never found a book though. Anyway, cool idea, I like it.

cutie, have you ever read this book?

You should give a feedback at least, seriously! :)

[cutienikki]

i did it a few times while in asia. put my name in and the date after trading one with a girl in Indonesia.
its great. a good way to (hopefully) pass on a good book.
